From the history of supply chain security threats to security development and deployment we've covered everything you’ve always wanted to know about the software supply chain but were afraid to ask. Dan Lorenc, Founder/CEO, Chainguard, Paddy Carey, Senior Staff Engineer, Cloudsmith, Adil Leghari, Solutions Architect Manager, Cloudsmith and Dan McKinney, Developer Relations, Cloudsmith, gathered for a fireside chat to cover your most burning questions.

With our latest releases of Epinio, we’ve focused on making both the setup and developer experience much more streamlined. We’ve looked at where users are having issues and removed many of the roadblocks. This reduced footprint also allows for more customizability and easier long-term maintenance. If you are not familiar with Epinio, it is an application development engine for Kubernetes that lets you go from code to URL in a single step.

Although time series data can be stored in a MySQL or PostgreSQL database, that’s not particularly efficient. If you want to store data that changes every minute (that’s more than half a million data points a year!) from potentially thousands of different sensors, servers, containers, or devices, you’re inevitably going to run into scalability issues. Querying or performing aggregation on this data also leads to performance issues when using relational databases.

It’s no secret that employee happiness and productivity often go hand-in-hand. But just how much impact does an employee’s happiness have on productivity – and is this a question that should concern IT leaders? It’s not exactly news that employees want to feel happy at work – but during the Great Resignation, we’re now seeing what lengths they’re willing to go to when they’re unhappy with their current employers.

Downtime—especially in customer-facing services—can cost businesses thousands of dollars an hour and incalculable customer trust. No company can afford to pay this price. To reduce downtime, software engineering teams must act quickly and decisively. But that’s easier said than done.

As an architect at SolarWinds, it's essential to work with our own monitoring tools as a form of quality control and source for innovation.

One of those tools I'll focus on today is SolarWinds® Loggly®—our log management and analytics product, which is also a part of our APM integrated experience.

Do you need to manage hundreds of Kubernetes clusters, or are you just curious to know why you could potentially need more than two clusters, or do you want to see the magic behind it? You are in the right place because you’re about to learn everything there is to know about it.
